Conan 'Connie' Doyle (1913 – 24 October 1942) was a South African first-class cricketer and South African Army soldier.
Doyle was born in Cape ProvinceatAberdeen in 1913. Doyle made two appearances in first-class cricket for Orange Free State against Eastern Province and North Eastern Transvaal in the 1937–38 Currie Cup, with both matches played at Bloemfontein.[1] He scored 41 runs in these matches, with a high score of 29.[2] In his second match, he was one of the wickets to fall in William Henderson's hat-trick (the others being Dirk Pretorius and Henry Sparks); Henderson ended up taking five wickets in six balls and finished with figures of 7 for 4 to bowl out Orange Free State for 46 in their second innings.[3]
Doyle served in the South African Army during the Second World War as a private with the 1st Battalion, Transvaal Scottish. He took part in the Second Battle of El Alamein, during which he killed in action on 24 October 1942.[4] He is commemorated at the El Alamein War Cemetery.[5]
